Now considered America's foremost colonial poet, Edward Taylor was virtually unknown until some of his poems were discovered in the Yale library and published in 1937. The intellectual brilliance and the emotional intensity of his poetical meditations have led critics to compare him to John Donne and George Herbert. These poems are now recognized as one of the great achievements in American devotional literature.

This review is from: The Poems of Edward Taylor (Paperback)
The paperback and hardback editions of Taylor's Poems are NOT the same. The paperback has only about half of the poems. It does not even contain the complete Prepratory Meditations. Unless you want a "Selected Poems" approach, buy the hardback.
